- A recently delivered HP 9000/382 came with a PaintJet printer, which has been
- sited in out office area, rather than in a clean area, which is isn't praticable.
- I was advised that this beast could be sited on a DEC portserver, and the
- multinet package used so that anyone on a vax,hp or sun on the network would make
- use of it. All was fine with text files which are sent to it, but raster images
- are proving tricky. Taking the example of a graph created by BBN's RS/1, the
- printer spews some nonsense, and then about half the graph, and then some more
- nonsense. I tried using the PBMPLUS utlity to convert both icon and raster images
- to ppm and then subsequently to pj using ppmtopj, but this fails miserably as
- well. All this suggests to me a problem with my switch selection ...

- Where X is the location of the switch.

- The Port is ..
-
- Character Size: 8
- Flow Control: XON
- Parity: NONE
- INPUT SPEED: 9600
- OUTPUT SPEED: 9600
-
- I have been told that the port has DTR hard-wired, so I have tried the DIP switch
- at XON-XOFF & DTR. No luck for either.
-
- Has anyone performed a similar task ?

- Email will be summarised.
